For our venue its more practical to use long buffet tables and to get the most out of them, we'll be put two tables together at the ends. We're only having 3 sets of these (2 tables together) and I was wondering if we have to do assigned seating? I've heard of assigned tables but one of the sets will be "head table" (us, WP, family) and the other 2 sets will be guests. Our circle isn't very formal and I don't think it would be super noticed if we just let everyone find their own place, but what do you guys think?
Would it be weird/rude?
ETA: I meant I've heard of assign seats and also assigned tables (where people can sit in whatever seat but they have to sit at a certain table...)
